Launch of Northern Box and Fiddle Club at the Hilton Hotel

MUSIC fans are in for a treat with a new music club night starting on September 7.

The Northern Box and Fiddle Club will be run on a monthly basis in the Lylehill Suite at the Hilton Hotel, Templepatrick.

Organisers Jim Rush and Amanda Robinson are planning to have a guest artiste each month, with Seamus Shannon performing at the inaugural show.

Seamus is an Irish accordian champion and is also a former member of the Joe Dolan Band.

As well as the guest artists, amateurs and more experienced players are invited to join in for a ‘jam’ before the main performance.

Jim - who has been involved in the music business for over 35 years - explained that the concept of the Northern Box and Fiddle Club was to get music lovers together.

“We want to have a bit of a music session each week before the guest artist performs,” Jim said.

He added: “Whether you can play or just enjoy music, you can be assured of a great night’s craic.

“We want to see people of all ages coming along, either to listen or join in.”

Admission is £6, payable on the door, with a reduce entry fee for those joining in the music session.

Entry includes tea and coffee and entry into a raffle. Doors open at 8pm with the event running until 11pm.
